Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

This was undoubtedly a major signal of great strategic significance, indicating that the Han Dynasty intended to incorporate the vast countries in the Western Regions into its territory and make them stable counties of the Han Dynasty.

From this historic moment on, the names of the once independent countries in the Western Regions will disappear from the territory of the Han Dynasty.

They will become an integral part of the Han Dynasty.

If this grand vision can be successfully realized, the territory of the Han Dynasty will be expanded thousands of miles away. The vastness of its territory will surpass that of any previous dynasty. The greatness of its achievements will be unprecedented and will be difficult to surpass in the future!
This will surely go down in history.

Huo Jun's heart was deeply shocked by this grand vision.

He seemed to see the Han cavalry galloping across the Western Regions like a rolling torrent.

He said no more and resolutely followed the arrangement.

Next, everyone faced a crucial decision: who to leave to guard Gaochang, a strategic location.

Gaochang, as the gateway to the Western Regions, has a vital strategic position that is related to the stability and long-term development of the Han Dynasty's rule in the Western Regions.

At this moment, Ma Su stepped forward and saluted:
"Prime Minister Xiao, Su is willing to volunteer to stay and guard Gaochang!
Su will certainly live up to the trust of the emperor and Prime Minister Xiao, and guard the gateway to the Western Regions for the Han Dynasty, so that the Western Regions will belong to the Han Dynasty forever!"

Xiao Fang had never expected that Ma Su would have such courage to take on the important task of guarding Gaochang and defending the western frontier.

He looked at Ma Su carefully, and saw that his eyes were as firm as torches and his expression was calm, and he couldn't help but secretly admire him in his heart.

"Okay! I will appoint you as the General of Zhenxi and lead the army to guard Gaochang!

I hope you will remember your mission and guard this western borderland for the Han Dynasty, so that the Western Regions will always be a barrier for the Han Dynasty!"

Xiao Fang immediately agreed to Ma Su's request.

Ma Su was ecstatic when he heard this, as if he saw the prospect of achieving great things and leaving his name in history.

He quickly knelt on one knee and bowed deeply to Xiao Fang with gratitude:
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your trust!
Su will live up to your trust and will guard the western border for the Han Dynasty!
If you break this oath, I will be punished by military law and will not refuse death!"

Xiao Fang laughed heartily and helped him up:
"Come on, let's not stop until we're drunk tonight!"

When the generals heard this, they all laughed.

For a moment, laughter and cheers resounded through the night sky inside and outside Gaochang City.

……

A few days later, Xiao Fang led his army back to the capital, and Ma Su officially led the Han army to garrison Gaochang City, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the western frontier.

He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he trained his troops diligently every day, strengthened the city's defenses, lived in harmony with the local people, and made Gaochang City impregnable.

On their return journey, the Han army passed through Liangzhou and Guanzhong. It was a dusty journey and took nearly a month before they finally arrived in the Central Plains.

……

However, thousands of miles away in the capital of the Yuezhi Empire - Blue Moon City, the atmosphere in the imperial palace was completely different.

A female emperor was sitting majestically on the throne. She was the Yuezhi Queen Vinaya.

She was dressed in gorgeous imperial robes and wore a dazzling crown on her head, and her eyes revealed unquestionable majesty and dominance.

Under her stern gaze, Cao Rui slowly stepped into the hall with uneasiness and trepidation.

He understood Queen Vishnu's anger and hatred, and couldn't help but groan in his heart.

Cao Rui bowed and said respectfully:
"Qin Emperor Cao Rui pays respect to His Majesty!

Long live His Majesty!"

Queen Vina waved her hand slightly, signaling him to stand up, and then asked coldly:
"Qin Huang, is the Prime Minister in the East really that powerful?
How could he have wiped out nearly 10,000 of my soldiers in one fell swoop and killed Rama?"

There was murderous intent in Vinu's words, as if he wanted to eat Xiao Fang alive.

Cao Rui bowed his hands and sighed:
"That Xiao Fang is indeed a master of military strategy and has extraordinary wisdom, which is beyond the reach of us.

Many heroes of our Qin Dynasty were defeated by him. This is truly a misfortune for our Qin Dynasty. He is also a powerful enemy of our Great Yue Clan. "

"Fayou, is what the Emperor Qin said true?"

Queen Vina turned her eyes to Vayu, seeking confirmation. Vayu did not dare to hide anything and said hurriedly:
“What the Emperor Qin said is absolutely true. In the battle of Gaochang, Xiao Fang used the strategy of flooding to wipe out our army. It was a horrible sight.

That thief Xiao is indeed incredibly strong, and none of us are his match. I hope Your Majesty will understand this clearly."

There was a look of fear between Queen Vishnu's brows.

She pondered in her heart how to avenge her nephew without putting the Yuezhi Empire into crisis.

At this time, Cao Rui stood up and said angrily:
"Your Majesty, please send troops to the Western Regions. I am willing to be your guide and help Your Majesty attack Gaochang and take over the Western Regions. I will avenge Marshal Rama and make Xiao Fang pay the price!"

Queen Vainu was furious.

Although she was an empress, she had no children.

Although Rama was her nephew, she treated him as her own son and placed high hopes on him.

So, she appointed Rama as the Marshal of the Western Regions to conquer the Western Regions.

Unexpectedly, his nephew was killed by Xiao Fang. How could Vinu not be filled with hatred and anger?

"Okay! I will mobilize all the Yuezhi troops to attack Gaochang and avenge my nephew!"

Vina gave the order angrily, and his voice echoed in the hall, as if it would shake the entire palace down.

All the ministers were shocked and tried to dissuade him:

"Your Majesty, calm down!

I think we should not act rashly and need to think long-term.

Although the Yuezhi Empire is strong, the terrain in the Western Regions is complex and it is difficult to transport food and fodder. We cannot send troops rashly."

The old minister Varuna was even more outspoken in his opposition:

"Your Majesty, we Yuezhi are separated from the Western Regions by the Pamir Mountains. The mountains are steep and the roads are rugged, making it extremely difficult to transport food and fodder.

When Rama invaded the Western Regions, he had already exhausted all the food reserves. If he were to enter the Western Regions again now, he would have to transfer food from his homeland, which would be difficult. I hope Your Majesty will think twice before acting."

Varuna expressed his concerns, and Queen Vina came to her senses after hearing what he said. She looked at the map and stared at the Pamir Mountains, and a trace of hesitation arose in her heart.

The Pamir Mountains are indeed an insurmountable barrier.

For a moment, Queen Vainu fell into deep thought, hesitant.

At this time, Sima Yi winked at Cao Rui, who understood and said hurriedly:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have a way to ensure that the army does not have to worry about food and fodder.

If this plan succeeds, the Yuezhi army will be able to successfully invade the Western Regions and avenge Marshal Rama."

Queen Vina's eyes lit up and she said curiously:

"Qin Huang, what can you do?
Tell me, if you can really solve the food and grass problem, I will reward you handsomely."

“The difficulty in getting food and fodder is nothing more than crossing the Pamir Mountains, which is a long and difficult journey.

But my adviser Sima Yi created a transport vehicle called the 'Divine Carriage'.

This vehicle can cross mountains and hills as if it were walking on flat ground, and can carry several times more food and fodder, making it a truly powerful tool for transporting food.

If the Queen orders the construction of this magical vehicle, food and grass supply will no longer be a problem."

Cao Rui spoke in detail, with a confident gleam in his eyes.

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this and started talking about it.

Some people marvel at the magic of the "magic car", while others doubt its authenticity.

Empress Vina said happily: "There is such a magical object in this world? If so, it is a blessing for the Yue clan! Please quickly provide the method, and I will summon the craftsmen to make it as soon as possible. I will make sure that the 'magic chariot' will be available as soon as possible for the Yue clan army to use!"

Cao Rui was overjoyed and secretly rejoiced in his heart.

He seemed to have seen the magnificent scene of the Yuezhi army, with the help of the "magic chariot", attacking the Western Regions with overwhelming force. (End of this chapter)
